SOME RECENT GPS ARTS

Did you miss my GPS arts ("gwriting" as I call it)? Here are some I did in recent weeks but didn't get to post them.

Do yo no Bo? ("Do you know Bo?") As the name has only two letters, not too challenging, I tried to make it more challenging by giving it a bevel appearance. I ran on both sides of the road, with diagonal lines at the corners. Unfortunately, at the scale I ran at, the effect was not very visible. Next time I'll use whole block instead of a street's width.

The exact opposite of "Bo", "Genevieve" has many letters and also that tricky positioning of "i" and "e". I memorized the spelling by thinking "Gene" (as in Gene Kelly) + "vi" (the Unix text editor) + "eve" (the night before a major event)
